Jesus is God: Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up

The gospel of John is unique, and deeply mystical, for something it is called the gospel of eternal life, the apostle John was also the disciple most loved by the Lord Jesus. The Gospel of John tells us a unique fact, which is not described in any other Gospel, Jesus met Nicodemus in a mysterious night, and there Jesus taught him the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
This dialogue between the son of man and Nicodemus is divided into two parts, in the first part Jesus transmits the knowledge of how to be reborn from above (John 3:1-13) by the water and the spirit, and in the second part Jesus reveals himself as the "son of man", and the access to true life (John 3:14-21), which is the contemplative life or worship of the wisdom.
The spiritual gift of eternal life in the teachings of the Kingdom of Heaven is a consequence of the new spiritual childhood, because when we receive the holy spirit and its essence (the gift of wisdom), it is when we can worship the Father in spirit; the contemplative life (John 17:3) purifies our hearts from low passions, and strengthens our relationship with the creator. We enter this life through Jesus.
Just like the prophet Moses, who made a bronze serpent at the request of the Lord that, when raised high, healed the Israelites bitten by vipers on their journey to the promised land (Numbers 21:4-9); Jesus as the son of man had to be crucified so that everyone who believes in him, be spiritually healed and receives the true life that once obtained cannot be lost, that is why it is eternal.
This is how Lord Jesus explains this teaching to the doctor of the law Nicodemus:
"Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, to the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:14-16.
